The ideal candidate will have over three years of experience in a leadership kitchen role, preferably in a steakhouse or upscale dining environment, bringing proven team management skills and a thorough understanding of culinary techniques and kitchen operations.

We offer competitive salary packages based on experience along with performance-based incentives where applicable. Our compensation and benefits include health plans, paid time off, employee dining privileges, and career growth opportunities within The Aldenburg Hotel organization. Working at The Aldenburg means joining a team dedicated to creating polished yet personal culinary experiences, delivering service with intention, and contributing to an elevated culture of excellence.
